1. CONNECT + CUSTOM PROPOSAL

We'll listen to your vision of the day and put together a custom proposal based on your wedding day plans and needs.

2. BOOK ENTIRELY ONLINE

Receive a link to a booking proposal where you can review your custom collection, e-sign the contract, and pay the retainer. Expect welcome emails and a 90 page guidebook from us in the mail as well as a photography timeline so we have an early solid foundation from the start!

3. ENGAGEMENT SESSION PLANNING

Fill out the engagement questionnaire and receive locations, ideas, and outfit recommendations tailored to your style and preferences. You'll receive tips/advice on how to prepare and what to wear as well as an itinerary with logistical details such as parking, where to meet, etc. Receive your photos within 2-3 weeks.

4. WEDDING DAY PLANNING

A photography timeline has been provided for you upon booking and we'll simply adjust it as the big day approaches and details are being finalized by you and your planner. Two important planning questionnaires are available so we can provide a custom tailored experience for you. Receive a series of helpful emails 3 months prior to the wedding day with helpful tips. We'll also set up a final call to go over the timeline one month prior (or an email if you're busy) and a final check-in email confirming all the details a week prior. We'll be working closely with your planner as well.

1. ARRIVAL

We arrive with the photo timeline studied and memorized, with a solid mental list of places we plan to photograph formals throughout the day (we've researched the venue/locations in-depth weeks prior). We also arrive 30-60 minutes early to scout, double check the lighting, and over all lay of the land. This allows for efficiency and ease when the action starts. For destination weddings, we arrive 2-3 full days before your wedding in case of travel delays or weather issues.

2. GETTING READY

Expect a mix of hands-on and an unobstructed approach. I'll move your dress and shoes to the perfect location, lay out and style your invites, and direct you to a spot to step into your dress that is flattering (no toilet or messy suitcases in the background!). However, we'll never interrupt a moment between you and your maid or honor, we know when to take the initiative and when to step back and let the moments happen.

3. COUPLE PORTRAITS

We've already 'practiced' during your engagement session so expect the same approach; a lot of guidance, affirmation, coaching, specific yet open -ended direction (I talk a lot!) for our signature organic, fluid, yet flattering and beautifully-lit photographs.

4. BRIDAL PARTY AND FAMILY PORTRAITS

You deserve beautiful photos of your favorite people. We'll get the traditional photos of your wedding party but then we like to mix it up with lifestyle and editorial type of photos. With family, we'll work from a list you provided (the only photo list we work from!) to ensure we don't miss any important family combinations.

5.CEREMONY, COCKTAIL, AND RECEPTION

We always provide photos of the venue and space for better story telling, we want to set the scene. You'll want to remember the views, the flowers, and the little details you put a lol of thought and money into. When the ceremony and reception starts, we are very hands off and discreet. We observe and anticipate heart-warming moments, a tear from the father of the bride, the way you hold his hand during the vows. If timing allows, we would do 10-20 minutes of sunset newlywed portraits as well.
